Are these not legitimate voting issues? Do people not vote for Democrats based on their stances on these issues?

I know but it's funny coming from a democrat. Whatever they accuse the Republicans, they do it. Do they live in a bubble?

I have no doubt Republicans will do their best to snatch defeat from certain victory.

It's one of the things they seem to do best. Many of them are weak, afraid and far too timid.

Democrats go for the jugular right from the start, while too many Republicans try to play nice. It's nothing but a losing strategy for them.

This is tragic and mind boggling, but all too true.
Here in Pennsylvania, the GOP has two very weak candidates for governor & senate; IMHO, neither has a chance.

Don't underestimate them. Mastriano is fine-tuning his messaging and going against someone running a Mccauliffe-type campaign. Oz is a question mark but is actually putting in some work instead of running online like Shrek.

Hope I'm wrong, but I think Mastriano has NO chance, and Oz a slim one at best.
We are likely going to be stuck with the ultra-ambitious Josh Shapiro as governor, and the GQ cover model klingon as senator.

Here's a big tip for you all in 2024 and I'm being serious here:

If you want any hope for 2024, persuade Liz Cheney or Adam Kinzinger to run for President.

They are the only two with any moral backbone left in the whole Republican party. I'd vote for either of them in a heartbeat and I'm betting so would a lot of other Democrats.
We need a return to strong moral standards in this country.
Think about it.
Exactly. The Republican Party is the party of election fraud in the name of "election integrity." They claim culture wars except that they started them, especially with the removal of the right to terminate a pregnancy especially if the wellbeing or worse life of the mother is put at risk.
